Seafreight Cost Comparison Calculator for Imports

This seafreight cost comparison calculator is an advanced Microsoft Excel ™ spreadsheet that can be used to calculate and compare the total freight and destination costs associated with importing goods shipped via sea freight as both an FCL (full container load) and an LCL (less than container load) shipment to determine which is the most cost effective mode.

The calculator will help to determine the point at which an FCL becomes a more cost effective option than shipping as an LCL shipment even if the container is not totally full.
